Hello, everyone. This is Andrea (Melissa's older sister). I am writing to update you on what is happening.
Melissa was admitted to the hospital last night. She was bleeding heavily. They found that she has an irritated uterus and think a full placenta previa (it was partial). They are planning on keeping her in the hospital for about a week, and then possibly releasing her to complete bed rest at home. Sheri (Cory's mom) is driving out this morning to pick up Kate and Cloey and take them home with her for the week. The doctors are trying to keep Melissa calm, quiet and stress-free to help minimize the bleeding. (So for those of you who live close, please no visitors right now.) Thankfully, the baby is doing well. She is not in distress. Melissa is 24 weeks. So every day is critically important for the baby's developement and growth. It is a very real possibility that they will have to deliver prematurely.
I truly believe in the power of prayer. And I have personally witnessed and felt the strength that having many people praying for you can have. Please keep Melissa and her baby girl in your prayers.

Melissa,
You are definately in our prayers! I'm so sorry you are going through this! Let me know when you're home. I'll bring dinner and we'd love for the girls to come play. I'm so glad Gma is close enough to come get the girls this week!
Love ya,
Destinee
I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your little family. How thankful I am for prayer and the priesthood and for a Heavenly Father who watches over us even if we don't realize it. Keep us informed and know that we are thinking of you.
Melissa- you are in our prayers. I'm so glad you and Cory have awesome family to help you out right now.
Melissa-
It is amazing what the power of prayer and Priesthood Blessings can have in our lives! You have such great faith and Heavenly Father knows your needs! You are so blessed to have such a supportive family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers!
Thanks Andrea for updating....i almost posted a request for prayer on my blog, but didn't know if Mel would be comfortable with that. Know that she is in each of our prayers throughout each day. We love you, Melissa, and you, too,Cory! I know you must be worried, and we're thinking of you, too. Sherrie and John are amazing parents and grandparents...what a blessing they are.
You'll be in our prayers and thoughts too! Love you cousin!
